[A poem by Dr. T. Radhakrishnamacharyulu titled ‘Intoxication’.]
While I was on walk
I saw a sleeping man on the roadside
Calm and quiet as mute lying
He was tired in singing dancing, it seems
The commuters across the road puzzled at
The buzzing vehicles didn’t disturb his sleep in night
The buzz and roaring wind went on green leaves
The body is curved as snake with no hissing song
The limbs found in uneven posture
Voiceless poor man is in youth
Gay and gale played silent song
Sure he is fully alive but unconscious so deeply
My mind of medical profession went on to search
The pulse is bounding
Chest wall oscillations is observed weak
No voice, closed eyes
Throat sings abnormal
Reads signs of fully drunken
Poor gay! Consumed abundantly
On road for a walk, it’s found incoordination
Fell down as green tree
The centre point of the scene revealed
The fact and effect of intoxication
The pity is the young blood mixed with wine
Shattered all abilities of youthful health
In the morning he disappeared from scene
Probably semi-conscious might had driven him to Pavillion
The fertile land if barren yields no grains
And life become prey for
Liquor
The two eyes rest in mad and sad..
If the people on drive, the roads suffer bleed
Fortunately escaped, the rest of life is a weed
Vitality is lost or scanty
The globe is round yet stopped moving around
The ground is unpalatable in all time
